Oil paint on linen, on wood
Cerulean Light is a small, gentle painting that invites a moment of calm. Donald Schenkel builds his gradients slowly, allowing the colours to settle into a quiet transition from pale blue to an almost weightless tone. It’s a piece that changes subtly with the light, offering something slightly different throughout the day.
Its modest size makes it an accessible introduction to Schenkel’s practice, an artwork that fits easily into any interior, whether placed on its own or as part of a small constellation. It’s also a thoughtful choice for anyone looking for a meaningful, long-lasting gift: minimal, serene, and made with care.
This work will be shipped within the Netherlands and Belgium at no additional cost, securely and with tracking.

Wandering Phantoms is part of Donald Schenkel's ongoing exploration of colour and atmosphere. Layers of soft violet, pink and warm yellow dissolve into one another, while subtle vertical forms emerge and disappear within the composition.
Rather than depicting a specific landscape or place, the painting balances between presence and absence. The image remains open, allowing associations with reflections, light or distant horizons without settling into a fixed interpretation.
Built up through numerous translucent layers of oil paint, the surface reveals different nuances throughout the day. The restrained palette and luminous centre give the work a calm yet radiant character.
Presented in a custom wooden frame, Wandering Phantoms brings together colour, light and subtle movement in a composition that rewards prolonged viewing.
Delivery within the Netherlands and Belgium is arranged in consultation, either in person or securely shipped.
